Extremely rich people always seem concerned with a particular cause
 

But they never take just enough money to live their life with and give the rest to help that cause. So how concerned are they really?

Did someone piss in your cornflakes this morning?:glugglug

No, this is my attitude always. I just keep it to myself. ;)

We live in a world of hypocrisy and I find it interesting.

At least they donate something :)

Money makes money. You can't give anymore when its all gone. Frankly, I think you can only throw so much money at something to make a difference. Some things won't be changed until attitudes change or a leader emerges. And money can't buy either.

They usually have multiple causes. Warren Buffett approached this concept several years ago when Bill Gates was worth $10 billion, and was criticized for not giving enough away to charity. He said "Bill Gates can do more with that money than anyone he could give it to."

Now Bill is the richest man in the world, and owns the 2 largest charities in the world.

cause that is good business...I will make $2,000,000 and give $1,900,000 away and keep the $100,000 (because that is all i need to live that year)....haha, that is a GREAT idea

:1orglaugh

I bet you make a fortune as a webmaster. </sarcasm>

Well it would actually be smarter to continue making money and give an amount each year to the cause. They are going to spend all of the money, at least if you keep it you can invest, make more, and give them more.

Rich people dont' care a lot of the time and just give because of the tax breaks...
